Papalani Gelato Franchising Company is a family-owned and operated franchisor of handmade Hawaiian style gelato, coffee, and chocolate shops which is dedicated to sharing its hand-crafted artisanal Hawaiian inspired gelato, coffees, and chocolates throughout the state of Hawaii and beyond. Many customers rave that Papalani™ has the best gelato (Italian style ice cream) and best chocolate in the nation.

We came here 3 times during our 8 night stay in Poipu. The service is great and the quality is great. I loved the waffle cones. It is a must visit place when in Poipu as you can also shop and looking around the shopping centre while enjoying your fresh gelato.
